Joey goes to the movies; THE REAPING
If you would have told me two years ago at the 2004 Academy Awards if
Best Actress-winner Hilary Swank's next big role would come in the form of a scientist trying to save the world from biblical plagues, satanic cults, and a really p***ed-off 12 year-old, I probably would have slapped you across the face to make sure you weren't dreaming. Sadly though , Swank's next big role has come in the form of a scientist trying to save the world from biblical plagues, satanic cults, and yes...a really p***ed-off 12 year-old. Hearing the words "Hilary Swank" and "Biblical plagues" used in the same sentence to describe the plot of a film terrified me enough. Things only turned for the worse when the film was pushed back from it's original mid-2006 release date three separate times. The finished product was reportedly "murky", "cheap", and "silly" according to reports of early-2006 screenings, and I can't say that the film has really improved on any of those aspects during it's extra months in the editing room. No, it's not as bad as the largely-negative rap it's getting upon it's release today, but let's just say it's basically not going to win a third Oscar for Hilary. The film has a seen-it-before yet oddly enticing premise, telling the story of a woman named Katherine Winter (Swank), an ordained minister-turned-scientist whom has been investigating "miraculous" happenings and occurrences around the world and discrediting them with...what else...scientific explanations. Katharine had lost her faith because of some incident in Sudan that resulted in the death of her husband and daughter, resulting in the loss of her faith, yada yada yada. She has been called to a rural town in the deep-south to investigate strange happenings...occurrences that are scarily similar to the ten plagues before the Apocalypse. Katherine, in all of her heroine/scientist clich. akosanke1@yahoo.com watch Predator Island movie

hilary was the best choice.. amazing movie.....
A great twist with some shocks and shivers
Hilary Swank is enough to give you the chills with her amazing acting
ability and genuine bond with the characters she plays. Here, Hilary makes what is a flat film, a surprisingly compelling one. without her story the film Would be too typical to bear, and the use of religious mythology would have come too thick and too fast. So credit for making this outing swankier than your average Omen, but for those looking for the next exorcist you won't find it. Prepare to bring your own paranoia with you for what is quite a cheap thrill, but if you jump on board the narrative and don't let your religious views control your perception you'll stay easily entertained, and assuming one has the lights off the atmosphere will create some scares, guaranteed!. |
